Arghhh! POS computer

My old 266mhz P1 beast hath shat teh bed.

Rebuilt it on another old motherboard and swapped all the components over.

Still cannot get the stupid NIC to do anything. If I log into my router through my laptop I can see that the router acknowledges the 266 box. I just can't get the 266 box to ge ton the internet from the router or even plugged straight into the cable modem. Everything is right (well, must not be everything) But everything seems to be set up and configured correctly. Even swapped cables but no luck. DNS error everytime.

I even fdisk'd 3 times now and reinstalled 98se and I still cannot get it on the internet. (installing windows on a 266mhz beast = slow)

I'm on my 4th install of 98se now. I just might punt this thing back to win95 if this keeps up.


I love obsolete junk.

reminds me of when i was putting windows 98 on this computer. it kept crashing when i was installing windows98 and kept having to restart the installation because some of the memory was b0rked. computers can be so damn frusterating sometimes. good luck with that, hope you get that up and running.

Yeah - I love when in the middle of the win98 install it pops up and says it cant find a file or it blames me for interrupting the install.

Update - bought a new NIC. Still doesn't work. :angrymonkey:

or it just restarts without saying anything at all. oh well, i finally got everything to work and i'm not touching it again (until it breaks again).

is the motherboard borked? maybe try a different PCI slot (or is it ISA or older?) you've probably already tried everything though

Should I just ship you one of my old PIII 800? Your NIC probably costs more than your whole setup.

Depending on your provider, the cable company may have entered the MAC address of the WAN interface of your router so attaching the cable modem to your computer may not yield results.

What kind of router are you using?

Can you ping your laptop through your internal network? Try pinging your laptop. If that's successful, try pinging the the gateway (internal LAN gateway). If that's successful, try pinging the WAN interface of your router. If that's successful, try pinging the gateway for your WAN interface (if that info's available) if not, then ping a DNS server. Use 4.2.2.1 if you like.

If you are successful pinging the DNS server, try pinging a website like www..com. If you get a DNS error but you can ping public internet IP addresses (like a good known DNS server 4.2.2.1), then the Winsock entries in your registery or the winsock dll's are b0rked.

Of course this assumes that your NIC drivers do work and you can ping everything else that I mentioned.

If that's the case, use your laptop to find the files off the Win98 cd rom (should be located in one of the .cab files in the Win98 directory). If yours is b0rked, let me know and I'll see if I can send you a good .cab file with the winsock dll's in it.

If Lwin's PIII doesn't pan through, let me know, I think we have a few old spares lying around the office.

Any update?

Try browsing by IP

here's one:
http://64.233.167.99/

If that works your DNS settings are incorrect.

Update

It is a PCI NIC - tried swapping into a known good PCI slot with no luck.

The router is a netgear 802.11b wireless (but has 4 ports for cat5) I know the ports are good on the router since my USB print server works and I have swapped it into different ports

Tried pinging DNS servers and the laptop and still no luck. Destination host unreachable for all of them.

Nic drivers - I have installed 2 different NIC's now and both seem to install correctly (no errors during install and nothing shows in control panel about them not working.)

Still - I am logged into the router now and looking at the IP for the 266 box under the attached devices list. But the 266 box can't even ping the router.

I'm puzzled.

Are you using DHCP or manually configuring your TCP/IP?

What's your gateway set to. In fact just post your results from ipconfig.exe

Here's a good command:
Code:
ipconfig /all > filename.txt
This will write your network config to filename.txt

I just pinged 169.254.249.137 (my own Ip) and it worked.

If this computer is set up on a home network then the IP address should be 192.168.x.x try disabling DHCP and putting in an IP address of 192.168.1.127 or somthing like that, and if your computer is hooked directly to your router than put 192.168.1.1 (or whatever your router's IP address is) into the default gateway box. Or maybe just change the DHCP server to your router or modem (instead of 255.255.255.255). And on the networks that i have setup the subnet masks have been 255.255.255.0 maybe try changing those things. Are you sure that your router has DHCP turned on?

Another thing you could try is opening a command prompt then typing "ipconfig /release_all" and then "ipconfig renew_all"

and that is about all the options i can think of at the moment. hopefully this works for you.

Fixed!
Harry is a genius!
He called me up and walked me through a couple things but in the ende he had me load the bios defaults and it fixed it. Apparently I had something screwed up wiht an IRQ conflict.

Thanks Harry! I owe you one.
